"Called 6/20/19. First available appointment 7/11/19. I found another company who came 6/27/19 for free estimate and they did repair the light. Aside from having to wait 3 weeks, they charge $69.00 service fee to come out. They also do electrical house check at that time."

"To begin with, they responded. That seems to be difficult for many electricians to do. Haywood Electric responded to our inquiry on Home Advisor within a few minutes. From that moment on, it was nothing but smooth sailing. I was able to arrange the work that I needed via a few texts. Their electrician showed up the next business day. The electrician was professional, courteous and friendly. He completed the work within the time frame he quoted me. To top it all off, the final bill was $200 LESS than the original estimate. I would recommend Haywood Electric to anyone in need of electric work."

"Mr.Electic and Ryan, as well as the electrician, were all amazing. My electric panel burned out at night. I called them at 10pm and they had a representative at my house the following morning. They're quote was within market rates with a bit of an expected mark-up for urgency. It was definitely reasonably priced, especially since i couldn't find anyone else able to do the job right away. Long story short, the electrician was at my house the very next day after the quote and did an AMAZING job installing a larger panel. They needed to cut the wall to make more space and did it in a way that is practically invisible from the outside. You really cannot go wrong with this provider."

"These guys ran original wiring from the electric panel to the garage, installed lights, outlets, an outside socket and exterior lights. The garage had one light bulb and one outlet. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work or the price. I just wish I had taken before and after pictures. They are on my agenda for further renovations."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For Akron’s climate, use outdoor-rated conduit, cold-resistant cables, and moisture-resistant supplies for basements or damp areas. Copper wiring is ideal for reliability, especially in older homes. Install GFCI and AFCI breakers that meet OH code for electrical safety, and choose LED fixtures for energy efficiency. Smart switches and updated outlets can also improve convenience and support modern technology needs.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Akron can significantly enhance your home’s value and resale appeal, especially with panel upgrades, modern wiring, and energy-efficient features. Buyers look for homes that meet current electrical safety standards and support today’s technology. Improvements like smart home features, generator hookups, and updated panels are attractive in Akron’s market and may be required for certain types of financing.

Helpful?

In Akron, you’ll find residential electrical contractors who handle home rewiring, panel upgrades, and smart home system installations, as well as specialists in lighting design and electrical safety. Commercial contractors focus on offices, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Some professionals offer expertise in generator hookups, solar panel installation, EV charging stations, and emergency repairs, especially for Akron’s older or historic homes.

Helpful?

Akron’s cold winters and frequent ice storms can delay outdoor electrical work, so schedule major projects for spring or fall. Many homes in the area have aging electrical systems or unique wiring challenges, especially in historic neighborhoods. Local codes require GFCI and AFCI protection in certain rooms. Consider energy efficiency incentives and remember to factor in sales tax on materials when budgeting.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Akron, confirm your contractor’s credentials and ensure all required permits are obtained, as processing can take up to two weeks. Schedule necessary inspections early, and check if your project requires coordination with local utilities for major upgrades. For older homes, inspect for outdated wiring or hazardous materials, and plan around Akron’s winter weather to prevent outdoor project delays.
